Morehend Planetarium 1954 Easter Story
Opened At Chapel Hill On Tuesday Night
FRIENDS
CHAPEL HILL ? A larger and
more beautiful Easter program
than ever before opened Tuesday
night at thte Morehead Planetari
um at the University of North
Carolina. ? '
The 1954 Easter story Is basical
ly the same as the four previous
offerings which have been wit
nessed by approximately 100,000
persons. "It is the largest Easter
production we havte ever offered,
and we believe the public, includ
ing those who have seen it before,
will say it is the most beautiful,"
Anthony Jenzano, Planetarium
manager, said following the open
ing performance.
The first portion of the story
titled. "Easter, The Awakening",
deals with the establishment of
Easter as a festival of the early
church with its date determined
astronomically. Following the
"scientific" portion there will be
a spectacle in lights, music and
readings symbolical of the Eas
ter season. "The entire program,"
said Jenzano, "is of a highly spiri
tual nature as befits the event it
Is commemorating."
In order that more people
might vflew the spectacle of the
beautiful story of the Resurrec- 1
tion, additional performances ,
have been added. In addition to |
'the nightly 8:30 performance,
there will be three matinees on
Sundays at 2 p. m., 3 p. m., and
4 p. m? two on Saturdays at 3 p.
m. and 4 p. m., and splecial shows
for school children a! 11 a. m.
and 2 p. m., Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays.
Other performances will be
scheduled on demand, and school
officials, churches or other orga
nizations who wish to make re
servations for classes and groups
are urged to contact the Plane
tarium management well In ad
vance. Mail order tickets for In

Bob Cox Opens
Service Station
Boib Cox announces this week
opening of Bob's Amoco Service
and Bob's Ice Cream and Sand
wich Shop.
The businesses are located just
outside the city limits on Shelby
road, in the station formerly op
erated as West Point Service.
Mr. Cox, formerly with Victory
Chevrolet Co., said he would also
deal in used cars and trucks, in
addition to offering automotive
services featuring Amoco prod
ucts.
Passing a stopped school bus is
a serious violation. Last year in
North Carolina 221 drivers were
convicted of that offense.
I have had sevteral phone calls
during the past week asking me
when I am going to plant my dah
lias and what to do about dah
lias that were left in the ground
over winter and ?re now sending
up stems.
If you grew dahlias last year
and left them lrt thfe ground over
winter' they should be dug up now
and divided. Even if .you want
only one plant, divide the clump,
plant one division and give the
others away. Leaving the clump
in the ground will give you sev- j
eral main stems, a lot of early
flowers and usually poor flowers
in the fall when they ought to be
at their best.
In digging the clump be careful
not to break the neuk~ of the
tuberous roots. Some varieties
havte very slender necks. In divid
ing the clump, which is best done
with a long slender blade, you
must leave at least one bud or
eye and one root with each divi
sion. You will find the buds on
the main stem or at the base of
the stem ? not on the root itself.
If long sprouts have developed,
they may be cut back to about
one-half inch of the stem or eye.
Usually you can get from three to
five divisions from each clump.
These divisions may be planted
now or can be kept in a cool place,
covered with peat moss or dry
sand until the proper planting
time.
I rarely plant before May 1
here at Raleigh. My advice would
be to plant during fearly May in
the central and western portions
of the state, and about May 25 to
June 1 in the extreme eastern

How can you grow large dinner
plate size dahlias? You must buy
varieties which naturally grow
large. There are hundreds of va
rieties ranging In size from one
to 17 inches In diameter. Culture
and disbudding will Increase size
to a limited extent, but if you
want the big ontes you must buy
the proper kinds.
The first thing to consider when
buying an Irrigation system is the
supply of water available.
